Fascinating quote about love from C.S.Lewis

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.”- C.S. Lewis

Helping out with the Queensland Floods

Please contact if you wish to help out with the Queensland flood relief efforts.

If you have any other suggestions on ways to assist or comments regarding the flood situation including your own experiences or photos, please feel free to post them below. Good luck and keep safe!
